Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds broccoli rabe (about 2 bunches) trimmed and sliced into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for blanching
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ounce parmesan, shaved in strips using a peeler (1/2 cup curls)
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • Add the rabe to the boiling water and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain and submerge in bowl of ice water until cool, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and anchovies, stirring and breaking up the anchovies with a wooden spoon. Cook until garlic is fragrant and light golden in color, 1 minute.
  • Add the rabe to the pan with any residual water. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the mixture starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and cook until rabe is crisp tender, about 3 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon onto plates or a platter and top with parmesan and pine nuts.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much broccoli rabe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. The broccoli rabe was too tough.

This dish was a little bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less red pepper flakes.

Broccoli rabe is one of my favorite vegetables, and this recipe did not disappoint! The bitterness of the broccoli rabe was perfectly balanced by the salty parmesan and the nutty pine nuts.
